Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

Senior Project: A Year of Drawing

My presentation showcases my final drawing portfolio. It is a selection from all of the architecture, sculpture, and portrait drawings that I have completed in the last year.

Exploring Shakespeare

Exploring Shakespeare

This project is an interactive slideshow showcasing different artworks inspired by Shakespeare's plays such as "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Romeo and Juliet", and "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Minecraft Prom

Minecraft Prom

These are screenshots of the venue we have built for an online prom. While not yet complete, these give a fairly good idea of the final product. The event itself is scheduled for May 15; between now and then, more screenshots will likely be added to that folder. The "Buildings" subfolder has not been updated recently, but the "Progress Shots" (screenshots taken over the course of the project from the same positions and give an idea of how construction has progressed) are being updated fairly regularly and reach back to day 1.

Students, Families, & Staff

Testimonials

The advisors and staff are committed to helping students which I appreciated. I had a friendly relationship to all and I have throughly enjoyed my time at Avalon!

Alumn

Survey, 2023

I love the relationships I get to build with students and families over time - it is so rewarding to see such growth!

Staff

Survey, 2023

I think Avalon has always done an excellent job of empowering students to do the things they really care about and be themselves. During my time at Avalon I was able to truly explore what it meant to be myself and even do projects and get school credit for that work.

Alumn

Survey, 2023

The small size allows for a lot of personal connection with and support from staff and for our son to have developed a solid group of friends, which he didn't have in his old school. I like the way academics are explored and how students are encouraged to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own learning to a good extent. The school feels like a real community, involving families in the school culture.
